Bilsdale Silver Band - vacancies

Whilst we welcome enquiries from any brass player, we have specific vacancies for:

cornet players

trombone players

Eb and Bb bass players

Established or returning players - or confident beginners - are welcome to enquire about these and other vacancies (since some existing members can be flexible about moving to other positions).

Just so you know what to expect:

The Band is unusual in that it charges no band subscriptions to its members!

We would equip you from our range of quality Instruments - and provide a uniform - free of charge

We are a non-competing, non-marching band, and practice every Tuesday evening from 7:30 - 9:30pm at locations alternating between Rievaulx and Chop Gate. More details, and maps are given here

The Band plays at about 20 engagements a year, mostly at weekends, in some of the most beautiful places in Yorkshire, including stately homes, abbeys, and seaside resorts

We play a range of traditional brass band pieces (marches, hymns, and arrangements of classics and show tunes)

Joining the band provides a unique opportunity to join a group of amateur musicians based in Bilsdale in the North York Moors National Park, playing in a truly rural band that has been thriving for over 150 years. See what Charles Dickens said about us in 1859!
